Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This article discusses the need for strategic thinking when confronting the problem of insufficient workforce capacity. It highlights research conducted under the Transportation Research Board's (TRB’s) Cooperative Research Programs and other organizations that identifies workforce challenges and opportunities for workforce development. Challenges discussed include relying too heavily on traditional talent pipelines, inadequate training, lack of inclusivity, a lack of awareness of transportation jobs, knowledge deficits when workers retire, and the need for technology-savvy workers. Suggestions for meeting these challenges include developing relationships with high schools and colleges; collaborating across modes to invest in industry-wide knowledge sharing and resource pooling; looking at internal employee engagement levels and organizational culture; and creating talent pipelines that promote diverse recruitment and hiring.
